Hello all of you MLP fans! This is the first chapter of many in my first book with Volt of Canterlot. Please send me feedback and give suggestions to the book's Email and make a review if you would like, it really helps put the story out there! I will try to get out 2-3 chapters a week but I'm not sure. I'm working very hard at creating ideas to make this book better than others like it. I'm also working with one of my good friends who is the writer of a popular book 6 for 6 named EpicBrony and we will eventually tie the stories together for a few chapters. Thank you for reading!
My eyes slowly opened after being awoke from my deep sleep by the window at the far end of the room. Then I remembered, it was my 21st birthday! With a long hesitation I got out of my bed and trotted into the bathroom. The same routine that I practiced most mornings. I turned on the faucet and touched my face with my now damp hooves.
I looked up into my mirror and saw my white coat, with my blue and yellow mane, my bright blue eyes, and my sharp horn which symbolized my magical powers. Then I turned and saw my long tail, just inches above the divider which separated my coat from my hooves. Which of course was the same color as my mane. Then I saw it, my cutie mark. The best one in the world, a shield with a sword running behind it. The way I received my cutie mark it is a WHOLE 'nother story but... we have time.
It was 12 years ago to almost this exact date. For the longest time I had had a secret crush on the most beautiful filly in all of Equestria! Her name was Sweetums. Her coat was a perfect shade of gold and her mane was a beautiful red. She was also a unicorn just like me and we were very good friends but I never was able to get the confidence to tell her my true feelings. So there I stayed for 2 years until one day, out in recess, while I was talking to Sweetums, a pony by the name of Crusher, who was also the school bully, shoved me out of his way and over to Sweetums! Then when I picked myself up, I heard him say,
"My friends say you have a thing for me?"
"I most certainly do not! I have feelings for somepony else!", Sweetums replied.
But Crusher had always got his way, until now.
"I don't care! You're going to be my special somepony or else!"
"Or else what?", she asked with a smirk, "Are you going to hurt me?"
Then everypony around suddenly started laughing! Crushers eyes glared at Sweetums and his nostrils flared! His hooves started to pound the ground with tremendous force! Then I knew what was going to happen, Crusher finally broke and pushed Sweetums over! Before I knew it I had rammed into Crusher and helped Sweetums up, but he came back with even more power and toppled me over once again! Then another pony who I can't recall stepped in and told Crusher to stop! All that did was make him even more angry! He kicked the small colt over and laughed! I once again picked myself up and rammed into Crusher, this time with the most power I could! And suddenly I felt VERY hot, as if the sun had suddenly focused all it's heat on my horn! Crusher began to float and a small room of rocks appeared out of the ground! Then Crusher was dropped inside and the heat vanished.
They say that's when I got my cutie mark, but I wouldn't know because right after that, Sweetums kissed me on my cheek and I fell unconscious. When I arrived home that night my parents already had heard the news, my father said that my cutie mark represented power. But my mother told me that I had been a true hero that day and that is what my cutie mark represented heroism, this is what I believe my cutie mark represents. And now I will do anything to prove that right!
Now me and Sweetums are each others Special Somepony's and see each other almost every day. But with my job being to protect the city of Canterlot and her's is to spread the joy of life through her flower shop. These are my stories that help me rise to a threat that faces all of Equestria!
